Brown pants are most aerodynamic during flights. Brown is the heaviest color, but also the most efficient for pilots to wear.

To even out the heavy brown pants, stewardesses wear blue, one of the lightest colors. They always stay in the center or other end of the plane, so the cockpit doesn't get weighed down by the sheer weight of all of their colors. The sky is light blue, while the stewardesses wear medium-dark blue, which makes sure the plane doesn't float too high, up into space.

In the cases where the plane is not a neutral color (i.e. grey), you might think the forces of gravity are being exerted solely on the paint on the outside of the plane.

What you don't see inside is the staff, all wearing different colors and carefully oriented around the plane in formations in order to even it all out. This is why planes are normally grey or white, so passengers and the staff can be more comfortable. Otherwise, it's a bloody great mess, ey?

I am 1 of 2 Emergency responders that responded to this call, and followed the aircraft down the runway and to his hangar. The pilot was originally wearing a green work shirt at the time of the bird strike. Later, he changed to a blue plaid shirt for the interview with the local news agency that 1st aired the report (local WINK reporter, I believe). Lastly, the interview on the Fox website was done at a later time, possibly Sunday (The incident happened on Saturday). If you compare the 2 videos you will note that one was recorded outside and the second one was recorded in a hangar.

The bird did not survive. We recovered 1 foot, but that was it. Any incident between bird and aircraft requires the remains to be sent off to a lab for analysis as to what type of bird it is. The impact happened on the cowling around the window and the carcass never actually entered the cockpit. I'm no bird expert, but my guess is a Turkey Vulture. A few years ago we had a bird strike involving a bald eagle. Strange how that one never made the news.

It's definitely the station's call letters. I live in their broadcast area. The guy landed the plane at Page Field, the local general aviation airport here in Fort Myers, Florida. The local paper said he had a cam in the plane that recorded the whole thing.

The windscreen is so invisible that the birds can't see it, I don't think they even know it exists, right? But then they fly right into it and the windscreen breaks, rubbish. Why even have a windscreen, its stupid, stupid.
